| DAC suggestions @dpm2340 The T+A DAC 8 is very much a bargain at your $2K budget and luckily there are two on the marketplace in that range, which is rare. I’ve personally done business, with Leonard, who is selling his unit on USAM. I can at least vouch that he ... | |
| Sound quality of Roon @fastfreight @wsrrsw I switched switches myself (pun intended). Went from an EtherRegen powered by a Farad Super3 LPS to a Synergistic Research Ethernet Switch UEF and there was a notable improvement in difference of the palpability, smoothnes... | |
| Please recommend speakers for 45 watt SET amps I’m close with Vlad, and his amps are wonderful. Consider Devore O/93, They’re lively and comforting at the same time, and they’ll look great paired with the Reflection monos. | |
| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? I concur with a number of folks on here but my formula is a little different. I use IsoAcoustics Gaia footers under my speakers but instead of the carpet spikes, which are a pain to move the speakers around to tweak positioning, or a butcher block... | |
| Another HiFi Listening Room help request I used to DJ similar music 20 years ago (I can’t believe it’s been that long), but played around at a couple of clubs in Philadelphia. I also produced electronic music, not on a label, but for myself, and now many years down the road I run a hifi ... | |
| Streamer? Aurender's "caching streaming" ? how important is this feature? @audiocanada I’ve posted a lot on the forums lately in response to people’s inquiries on Aurender, and hopefully people aren’t getting tired of me. In transparency, I am also an Aurender dealer, always happy to work with folks. To add to Carlsba... | |
| What is the added value of a streamer over a networked dedicated Computer There’s a lot of material on the forums that cover this, but l’m sharing a few posts that I wrote recently to help guide people on what is required in a great digital source, mainly around noise reduction and clocking/timing. Digital signals are v... | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room +1 To everyone stating about investing in room treatments. A $20K system in a mindfully-treated and positioned room will sound exponentially better than a $35K system in an untreated room (even if positioned well) as the room shapes the sound betw... | |
| Couple of Line Conditioners... I generally hated plugging my amps into any PS Audio PowerPlant that owned. I’ve not tried the ultimate outlets. Usually plugging amps in would shrink the soundstage and brighten the sound. I prefer plugging the amp directly into the wall and see ... | |
| Vintage Luxman receivers I would also note that the newer pieces are a bit more refined and relaxed with more midrange magic than the older pieces. The detail retrieval and control improves with each price point / model upgrade but Luxman likes to focus preliminarily on t... | |
| Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital? @m-db To support @david_ten ’s suggestion, I use the Netgear Orbi mesh router and satellite system, and it is very good. Much faster internet on top of helping your digital sound better. From there I use aftermarket ethernet cables with an audioph... | |
| High efficiency desktop speakers @curtisvill And what is the wattage of your amp? I've seen this pop up from time to time, and if your desk is big enough it might be worth considering. I have enjoyed my experiences with Decware's larger full-range speakers, but never this one: ... | |
| High efficiency desktop speakers @curtisvill Can you reply to my question from earlier - how much room do you anticipate between the speaker and the wall (will your desk be against a wall?)? | |
| Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital? @baylinor Sorry for the confusion. The Aurender Conductotr app is now in production release for the last three days. The beta period is still active for those who want to submit feedback, but it is in a stable public production release now. And ye... | |
| Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital? @baylinor Even as a dealer, I agree with your post. But whether we do so this in a professional capacity or in a personal one, everyone will list the brand ms and products they most advocate for. Some dealers may be doing it to try to capitalize o... |
